So lets take this one step at a time.

Does this change at least get the driver loaded?

There is some code in phy-c45.c which needs
phydev->c45_ids.mmds_present. So maybe after the driver has probed,
and the device should be accessible, we need to call get_phy_c45_ids()
to fill in the missing IDs?
